For example, Luo Ronghuan, who has been with him for a long time. The Linluo combination started in 1930. At that time, Lin Shuai was young and energetic, and his personality was strange, so few people could partner with him.
at that time, the Red Fourth Army was the top main force of Jinggangshan , and Lin was the top leader of the department. His personality and the constraints of his handling methods made it difficult for him to associate with several political commissars.
At this time, the calm, restrained, simple and approachable Luo Ronghuan began to partner with Lin. Unexpectedly, this pair of golden combination was combined, and Lin could no longer live without him. The two of them went from a land revolution partner to the War of Resistance Against Japan, and then from the War of Resistance Against Japan to the War of Liberation. They were hard-core "golden partners".
So, Lin has a very deep friendship with Luo Ronghuan.
When Luo Ronghuan was seriously ill, Lin Shuai, who had never visited others in the hospital, actually went to visit him with condolences. After Luo Shuai passed away, Lin not only attended his funeral, but also had the only couplet in his life:
"Sixteen hundred million people are full of energy, the sun and the moon are shining heavily, and the Long March is long. The long journey is long, and he has been together for decades, and he has been together forever. He has lost his close friend."
From this elegiac couplet that mourns Luo Shuai, he can see how deep his feelings for his golden best friend Luo Ronghuan are and how regretful he has lost it.

Of course, in addition to Luo Shuai, Lin Shuai's close friends also include Zuo Quan, Liu Yalou , Tao Zhu and others. These people are able to get along with Lin Xiangzhi, which is largely because of their similarities in nature and have cultivated good personal relationships through long-term contact. But there is one person who is completely different from the above people. This person is Su Yu , known as a generation of war gods.
Su Yu is different from Luo Shuai, Zuo Quan, Liu Yalou, Tao Zhu and others. Luo, Zuo, Liu, Tao are either Lin's subordinates, Lin's partner, or Lin's life and death in the years of revolution.
, Su Yu is very different.
Except for the intersection between Nanchang Uprising and Jinggangshan, for a long time, Su Yu's troops were responsible for the arduous task of attracting enemy firepower, and fought on the outside for a long time and never had any intersection with Lin again. Even in the War of Liberation, the fourth field, led by Lin and the 3rd field, commanded by Su Yu, were two independent combat units under the Central Military Commission. There was no affiliation between the two, and there was no so-called superior-level and subordinate-level relationship.
Simply put, in fact, for a long time, Lin Su and the other two did not have much intersection.
But not much intersection does not mean that Lin Su and the other lack appreciation for each other. Lin Zhuang is important in using troops. He will never use troops without being sure of seven or eight points. Once he uses troops, the enemy will be unable to escape. Su Yu is completely the opposite. Su Yu is good at using troops to seek victory in danger. He often dares to draw his sword to the enemy as long as he has four or five points, and can often exchange great victory for a very small price.
Therefore, these two military gods have long heard of each other's reputation, and they can be said to have a sense of mutual appreciation.
This kind of mutual appreciation is not only due to their long-term reputation, but Lin Su and the other two are almost carved out of the same mold in many aspects.

Lin Shuai does not smoke, drink, dance, does not like to play, and does not pay attention to life. The most interesting thing is to look at maps all day long and study military issues. The same is true for Su Yu. He does not smoke, drink, is not good at speaking, and does not pay attention to life. He is only interested in military affairs for life. The two of them are like coming to the world for a pure war.
The two of them are not tall and have a thin appearance. One is Hubei and the other is Hunan. Eight hundred miles Dongting looks across the lake, as if you are in the north of Hutou, and I feel like I am in the south of Hutou.
Although they have long been famous for each other, in the revolutionary war era, due to the limitations of the environment, although Lin Shuai did not have the opportunity to exchange military issues face to face with Su Yu, he often asked Liu Yalou and others to collect some classic battles that Su Yu had fought. Every time he locked himself in a small room and studied it carefully. After the research, he did not forget to reminisce and sigh:
"Su Yu will fight the immortal battle!"
It is precisely because Lin Su has extremely high military talent and the two are extremely obsessed with military affairs. Therefore, deep in Lin's heart, he has long regarded Su Yu as a close friend with a common spiritual pursuit.
Lin's old subordinate Wu Faxian once said:
"Lin is a man who has a high opinion of himself, but he values Su Yu very much. Whenever he talks about military affairs with Su Yu, Lin Biao, who was originally taciturn, would open the faucet-like chatterbox and talk for most of the day."

Lin's daughter also said:
The father had the most contact with Su Yu among the high-level military cadres.
This shows that Lin Su and the two have a good relationship.
Lin Su's friendship is more intuitively reflected in Su Mengchen, but Lin never puts a deception. Not only that, he also visited this close friend many times and had a long talk with him. As soon as he talked, he was dancing, like a surging river and out of control. Even after Su Yu left an important position in the army, he repeatedly encouraged the other party to go to the army to take a look, and to find any problems in a timely manner, and to write a letter to him directly, which made Su Yu very encouraged and relieved.
The two also left a good story of dating between the gods of war.
